trowley Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hey: Is there a way to clear the cache from Flash or within the html? I have two Flash files communicating together via php/mysql. Every time you click a link in Flash file A, it sends a number to a mysql table via php and reloads the html page Flash file B is on. Flash file B checks the mysql table via php and loads an xml page based on that number. Works fine in all browsers except ie, which caches the Flash page and keeps loading the same page(unless you clear the cache) So what i need is a way to clear the cache either from Flash or from the html page. Any suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstern Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Have you tried adding ?resetcache=true to the address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trowley Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks for the reply! How do you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstern Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 try adding that tag to the end of the link. The link in your flash A would like something like <A HREF='http://www.domain.com/link.php?resetcache=true'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trowley Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks, I will try that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trowley Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 ok, didn't work. For some reason ie8 is caching the Flash so it does not update on page load. ie6&7 (+all other browsers)work fine! I guess i have to do a browser test and load a different file for ie8! Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtual Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 You can tell IE8 to act like IE7 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
